Baltimore City’s Office of Sustainability recently released its Food Waste Recovery Strategy, written in partnership with ILSR. The strategy recommends ways that Baltimore can recover edible food, reduce food waste, and compost food scraps. The Office of Sustainability drew on ILSR’s Hierarchy to Reduce Food Waste and Build Community when developing its strategy. In the Office of Sustainability press release, Mayor Pugh said, “Locally based composting, keeps dollars in the community, promotes strong neighborhoods, cleans and enriches Baltimore’s soil, and importantly, supports local food production and food security.”
